17:17 Podcast

Money. Tithes. Offerings. Even just reading the words in a church context can make people uncomfortable, but should they? Where does tithing come from and is it something we still should be doing today, or is the church just trying to make a profit?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the history of tithing in the Bible (which predates the Mosaic Law, believe it or not.) From there, we look at the principles of giving and how Christians should think about their tithes and offerings today. In a discussion that makes many uncomfortable and sometimes gives preachers the heebie-jeebies to preach about, we hope that you find clarity on the biblical view of tithing and can have a godly perspective on the issue!

We see fights in the media all the time. School fights go viral on social media. People insult one another all the time on Facebook and Twitter. People fight to defend someone else. But what should Christians do? Should we ever engage in physical, verbal, or virtual fights?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie answer a listener question about how Christians should handle fighting, whether in a physical, verbal, or virtual setting. What role does anger play in these fights? Our goal is to shed light on how we ought to fight (or refrain from) to bring glory to God and be a good witness for Christ. We also look into some situations that may merit physical violence. Check out this pod and we hope you're encouraged!

With Mother's Day upcoming, we're here to help you better appreciate your momma as well as see what qualities a godly woman has in a world that often confuses what a woman even is.

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through primarily Proverbs 31 to define a godly mother (and woman in general). In America, we have all sorts of different ideas of what a mother should be. How many kids? Should she work outside the home? Is her role to cook and clean and make her husband happy? Many people have different ideas, but thankfully the Bible has plenty to say about what a godly woman is and we hope that you will be encouraged listening to this and also learn how we ought to treat our own mothers!

What the heck am I supposed to do with my life?! Job? College? Spouse? What is God's will for my life? How do I know if it's my will or His?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the often confusing topic of discerning the will of God. Many Christians want to follow God's will, but find it to be a mysterious thing that they never quite can understand. Thankfully, we look through Scripture and reveal that it's not nearly as mysterious as we often think it is. We also look at a simple way to find the will of God and the 5 steps are, you guessed it, alliterated! We hope this episode is encouraging and helpful as you try to navigate what it is God wants you to do!

Just kidding, or are we? Boycotting companies and organizations is commonplace now, but is it something Christians should participate in? What exactly is boycotting anyways, and where did the name come from?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the history of boycotting and take a look at how the application of this idea has changed over time. We also dig into what the Bible says about this topic and whether or not Christians should engage in boycotts against companies who stand for unbiblical principles. Wherever you fall on the spectrum regarding this topic, we hope that this episode is helpful and engaging as you wrestle with what to do in today’s culture.

Is committing suicide unforgivable? What happens to Christians who commit suicide? If a loved one has taken their own life, do we have any hope that they will be in heaven?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a very heavy topic that has had an impact on many people: suicide. We know that all sins are forgivable, but what about one where there is no opportunity to ask forgiveness after the fact? We walk through what the Scripture has to say about the value of life and different cases of suicide in Scripture. Finally, we look at what exactly condemns us to Hell and how we are saved from that and where suicide falls into the mix. We hope that you will be encouraged after listening and would grow your biblical knowledge as well as gain a better understanding of God.

What happens to our pets when they pass away? Is there any hope to see them in heaven? 

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through animals and heaven and whether we will see animals when we get to heaven. This is a topic that is often brought up and one of the few that almost every kid wants to know the answer to. We hope that as you listen in, you will develop a better understanding of God's relationship with animals and what may happen to them after death.

Who got to decide what books were deemed Scripture? Why does the Catholic Bible have more books? Is any of it even trustworthy? What makes Scripture divine?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the history of the canonization of Scriptures and why the 66 books we have today are trustworthy and why many other historical books written were not included in the canon of Scripture. This episode will be very helpful in affirming trust in the Bible that you open up each day and we hope this is a blessing!

Is it really so bad to be legalized? A majority of Americans support the legalization of marijuana for various reasons...should Christians support it as well?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through how the topic of the legalization of marijuana, specifically for recreational use. We look at Scriptures about sober-mindedness and how that ties in with facts and statistics regarding use of marijuana. A topic that many debate on, with some thinking it should always be illegal and others saying, "People are going to use it anyways...might as well tax and regulate it."

If Christian artists go off the rails, should we still listen to their music? What about pastors who had great theology but it has changed? Authors with some good books but others not so good?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through how we should view the message and the messenger in regards to media. It's a moral conundrum for some of whether or not they should listen to music from folks like Ray Boltz or Bob Dylan who once lived out the faith and have since been living in unrepentant sin. We dive into many biblical examples of God speaking through unrepentant people and help listeners gain clarity on these issues.
